The Department of Health is Celebrating Wellness from September 22 to 28 under the theme Engage, Empower, Elevate: Working together to improve health and well-being for all. This annual initiative invites the public to embrace healthier lifestyles through a series of free, family-friendly events designed to promote physical activity, community connection, and lifelong wellness habits.
“Celebrating Wellness in 2025 is an opportunity to build a healthier you, a stronger family, and a more connected community,” said Minister of Health Kim Wilson, JP, MP. “Events like these bring families, coworkers, and neighbours together in ways that strengthen both individual and population health. By making wellness accessible, fun, and social, we encourage healthier lifestyles that benefit all of Bermuda.”
